Somatic coaching

What it is

I trained in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based, body-centered method. In a session we slow things down enough that you can notice what your body does while you are with a question, a decision, a relationship. I might ask you to notice what happens when you hear a certain sentence, or to let a gesture finish instead of cutting it off. The noticing is gentle, you are in charge of the pace, and nothing has to be explained to be real.

This is coaching, not therapy. I do not diagnose or treat. What I do is sit with you while you find out, in your own body, what you actually want and what has been in the way.

Who it is for

• People who have talked a problem to death and still feel the same about it.
• People who go blank, tense, or numb at the moments that matter most, and want to know what their body is doing there.
• Performers, dancers, and anyone else whose work lives in the body and has gotten tight.
• People in a transition who want to move through it awake rather than braced.

How a session goes

1. 1

   We arrive

   A few minutes of settling. Where you are today, what is alive, what you would like to look at. No forms, no intake script.

2. 2

   We slow down and notice

   With your eyes open or closed, I offer small things to notice: a sentence, a posture, a breath. You report what happens. We follow what shows up, not a plan.

3. 3

   We let it land

   Whatever came up gets room to settle. We talk about what you noticed and what, if anything, you want to carry into the week. Sessions run about an hour.

Sessions and rates

If cost is the thing in the way, say so on the call. There is usually something we can do.
